Shanks said no Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Evening News reporting that gangs of youths in ongoing mass brawl on Portobello beach A MASS brawl erupted on Porty beach this afternoon in front of shocked families. Tempers flared as gangs of youths headed to the seafront in blazing sunshine. Photos emerged of topless teens squaring up to each other and throwing punches. Police officers swooped shortly before 5.30pm as trouble spilled onto the High Street. A police spokesman said: "At 5.25pm officers in Edinburgh responded to reports of a disturbance in the Portobello area. "This was in the area of the beach and the High Street. The incident remains currently ongoing and officers are in attendance." One 16-year-old boy was given a caution, while two people were left with minor injuries. One bystander said: "Just leaving Portobello beach and no joke 12 police cars/vans have just blue lighted to the beach." https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/crime/gangs-of-youths-in-ongoing-mass-brawl-on-portobello-beach-1-4971392 Anyone seen or heard anything about this?

cocobeab Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Weegies have Kelvingrove Park for such events. Only right Edinburgh incorporates the nearby beaches Quote

Fitzroy Pointon Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Seen this happening in Ayr a few years ago. Hundreds of wee scratters from Glasgow and Paisley scrapping on the beach, throwing bottles where kids were playing. Pure scum behaviour. Was on the train to Ayr on Tuesday with the wee man on the way to the cinema and was happy to see loads of police on the platforms at Troon and Ayr confiscating their alcohol. Quote

Sierra Delta Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I went for a stroll along the prom around 8pm last night and there were a large number of strange, youthful characters around the arcades. Not really surprising when you mix idiots, sunshine and alcohol. Quote
Cade Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Not exactly Mods v Rockers on Brighton beach, is it? A few pigeon-chested milk-bottle coloured schemie laddies try to impress their oompa-loompah looking, chip-fat insulated schemie bursd by having a scrap. Edited July 25, 2019 by Cade Quote

Locky Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 They left the beach in a total state, and the locals have been down cleaning it up. Scum honestly. Anywhere else in the world, the sun comes out and people hit the beach to relax, swim and just have a good day out. Here, yoofs just see it as another opportunity to get smashed and go scrapping. Genuinely hate this country sometimes. Quote

Kiwidoug Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 A 16 year old cautioned and 2 with minor injuries. Eat your heart out ISIS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤ Quote
jack D and coke Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 I seen a couple of videos of the “scrapping” Hilariously shite. Worse than the worst pavement dancing you’ve ever seen. Quote

The Internet Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Genuinely can't think of anything worse than being on Portobello beach on a day like this. Quote
Cade Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Teenage pricks being teenage pricks. Hundreds of them came in to Brunstane by train. Feck knows where from. Quote

Exactly. Not sure what's sadder, squad of young lads acting tragically after a bevvy or people in their 40s and 50s generalising about every youth in the land? In fact I do, it's the latter. Quote
